First of all, I agree that arthritis can be a very chronic and painful disease, but you can minimize the pains by engaging in the right actions and taking the right medications.
Different people react differently but generally most arthritis sufferers are expected to get some relief when they use the right treatments. Many people say they prefer the Chinese approach to arthritis because it explores beyond the pains in the joints but goes as far as exploring the mind, body as well as the spirit with a view to healing the "entire body".
No medication can beat a positive person who is afflicted with an illness, just as no medication can save a negative person; arthritis is no different.
Since you are not sure of the exact unhealthy habit and lifestyle that can trigger arthritis, it's best to desist from as many of your unhealthy habits and lifestyle as possible.
Talk to people who have successfully got relief from arthritis and learn what their mindset were during the period… they will all tell you they were positively charged and they all believed they would be healed; you need the same kind of positive mindset as well.
If you must take holistic arthritis therapy in addition to traditional arthritis medicine, it's best you consult with a licensed holistic therapy physician.
If you are someone that's afraid of acupuncture because of the fact that those tiny pins will be inserted into your body, then acupressure massage is an excellent alternative.
Remember, nothing stops you from living life to the fullest, with or without arthritis; with the right information and access to the right medication, arthritis won't have to interfere with your enjoyment of life.
To end off, don't run off to start taking just any medicine because they say it can control arthritis; many such medicines have only made the arthritis worse.
